Waterworks

Yeah, seriously, fuck. We screwed up. Never should have trusted anything that’s all gooey.

At this point, there’s a few options I could see for the story going:

1) Connie’s truly gone, game over.

I could see this if Lufa’s treating this pretty strictly as a game rather than as a storytelling medium. I’d say like 35% likely.

2) Connie’s truly gone, switch to another character for POV going forward

At this point it’d likely be Slick, who probably feels pretty bad about what happened to Connie. We might see Slick as the next POV character for a bit, just to build up tension or something, but I say switching to him permanently is unliekly IMHO. 15% likely. That being said, if this happens, Slick might still be able to kill the Goo by detonating what amounts to a water bomb on it. Or something.

3) Connie’s not truely gone, story enters endgame with Connie trying to recover herself from within the Goo.

Could be, could be. It does seem like we’re getting to a plot event horizon of sorts, where there’s really no returning back to the status quo of before the Hivemind. Even if Connie escaped her own head, that is. 60% likely.

4) Connie’s not truely gone, there’s something else going on here that’ll help her out we aren’t seeing yet that’s going to come into play.

Oh, there’s UNDOUBTEDLY something else going on. But whether it’s going to be a good development or not is debatable. 40% likely.

Yeah, these percentages don’t end up at 100%. so sue me. Regardless of what happens, I’m starting to believe anything’s possible. Good show, Lufa!
